- Major Point 1: History "During the Georgian era Bath became fashionable with the architects John Wood, the Elder and his son John Wood, the Younger laying out new areas of housing for residents and visitors. Assembly Rooms had been built early in the 18th century, however a new venue for balls, concerts and gambling was envisaged in the area between Queen Square, The Circus and the Royal Crescent. John Wood, the Younger raised funding through a Tontine and construction started in 1769. The New or Upper Assembly Rooms opened with a grand ball in 1771 and became the hub of fashionable society." (not a concise summary of the corresponding section in the body)

- Major Point 2: Architecture "The Bath stone building has rooms arranged in a U shape. There are four main function rooms in the complex: the 100-foot-long (30 m) ballroom — the largest Georgian interior in Bath; the tea room; the card room; and the octagon. The rooms have Whitefriars crystal chandeliers and are decorated with fine art. In the 20th century it was used as a cinema and in 1931 was taken over by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and restored. It was bombed and burnt out during World War II with restoration undertaken by Sir Albert Richardson before reopening in 1963." (summarised well in the lead)

Rod, I'm very happy and inspired to see your work here. I do have some insights based on the above checklist that I think will improve the article:
I think the lead can be improved in order to provide an accessible overview for the History.
The image "Pickwick Papers, la salle de jeux à Bath29.jpeg" has "{{PD-Art}} template without parameter: please specify why the underlying work is public domain in both the source country and the United States". Is it a concern?
Besides that, I think the article looks excellent. Please feel free to strike out any recommendation from this review which you think will not help in improving the article which is our main aim here. All the best,
--Seabuckthorn ♥ 05:18, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your review and comments. I have revised the history paragraph of the lead, combined some short paragraphs and expanded the PD-art tag on the picture. Do you think they have helped?— Rod talk 10:30, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks! The article looks perfect now.

Hello editors, I'm working on a pilot project for the National Trust, which is looking at adding a discrete number of images to Wikimedia Commons, as well as introducing some volunteers to the principles of editing (more here). Some of the volunteers are based at Bath Assembly Rooms. Although they have a wide range of other interests, you might see a few edits from new editors appear here and I'd be grateful for your patience and support while they learn the ropes.
